Everything that God sends us is beautiful, even though we may not understand it - and we only need to give it some proper thought to see that what God gives is just sheer happiness; the suffering is what we add to it.

Happiness must preclude false indulgence and physic.

But there was happiness elsewhere which no description can reach.

_she had nothing to do but to forgive herself and be happier than ever_

I swore that I would not suffer from the world's grief and the world's stupidity and cruelty and injustice and I made my heart as hard in endurance as the nether millstone and my mind as a polished surface of steel. I no longer suffered, but enjoyment had passed away from me.

You may well warn me against such an evil. Human nature is so prone to fall into it!
